We present PyPopStar, an open-source Python package that simulates simple
stellar populations. The strength of PyPopStar is its modular interface which
offers the user control of 13 input properties including (but not limited to)
the Initial Mass Function, stellar multiplicity, extinction law, and the
metallicity-dependent stellar evolution and atmosphere model grids used. The
user also has control over the Initial-Final Mass Relation in order to produce
compact stellar remnants (black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs). We
demonstrate several outputs produced by the code, including color-magnitude
diagrams, HR-diagrams, luminosity functions, and mass functions. PyPopStar is
object-oriented and extensible, and we welcome contributions from the
community. The code and documentation are available on GitHub and ReadtheDocs,
respectively.
